...He poses an interesting question, WHAT DOES IT DO? I mean, just run around and eat stuff? In which case, children beware, the government now has plans for you.

Seriously though, I'm not above using the dead to fuel my army, it'd be taticly sound. Yes it'd be kinda hard to tell the family there'd be no body and all, but if it fueled something that'd blow up the enemy why not? At least you can sleep at night knowing that your fallen loved one fueled the creature of their demise... But if it's just got that arm, that kinda sucks, or if it was something that just rolled over mines to blow up, that'd kinda suck...

My opinon in a less rambly way: It's an interesting concept, but unless this thing had a reason to eat a person to fuel it's self, I dont think I'd back it. Desecration of the dead is wrong, though demoralizing to the enemy.
